Hibernate many-to-many cascading delete

Question

I have 3 tables in my database: Students, Courses and Students_Courses

Students can have multiple courses and courses can have

Answer 1

You just need to Remove cascade = CascadeType.ALL in Student class only no change is required in Courses class

and add the below code cascade = {CascadeType.PERSIST,CascadeType.MERGE,CascadeType.DETACH}..

It means while deleting owner class record it will not delete a non-owner record.

After this, On Delete it will delete only from Student table and student_course. course table data remains the same.
